On September 19, Cody Lemoine was arrested without incident in Toronto, Ontario by the Toronto Police Service on an outstanding warrant. Investigators with the HRP/RCMP High Risk Enforcement Action Team (HEAT) travelled to Toronto to pick him up and return him to Halifax on September 22.

Cody Lemoine remains in police custody in Halifax and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court on September 23 to face one count of fail to attend court, six counts of breach of recognizance, four counts of breach of peace bond, and two counts of breach of probation.

Investigators with the High-Risk Enforcement Action Team (HEAT) of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division are asking for the public’s help locating a wanted man.
